EXETER, Maine - A civilian contractor who was killed in a suicide attack on a NATO convoy in Afghanistan has been laid to rest in Maine.
About 700 people including military personnel and law enforcement turned out Wednesday at Exeter Cornerstone Baptist Church for the funeral of Corey Dodge of Garland.
The 40-year-old was one of 12 people killed in the Aug. 22 attack in Kabul.
The Army veteran worked as a police officer in Dexter, a Maine State Prison corrections officer, and a deputy in Knox County, where he was Deputy of the Year in 2002.
For the past nine years, he'd worked in Afghanistan training police officers and serving on a security detail. He'd returned home in June to take his family on a vacation to North Carolina's Outer Banks.
